, has attempted to mirror Gold price action, which has been in price discovery since early February 2024. In the last two weeks, Gold price has rallied over 11% to reach a new all-time high of about $2,940 per ounce in the last 24 hours.

As a result, retail and institutional investors have been rushing to reposition their portfolios in preparation for a crypto parabolic rally in the near future. Furthermore, the mainstream adoption process of digital assets has reached the nation-state level after institutional investors got involved in the last few years.

Midterm Bitcoin Price Expectations

Bitcoin price has been trapped in a horizontal consolidation channel between $91K and $109K in the past three months. However, crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that Bitcoin price has been gaining bullish momentum in the last few days, which could lead to a trend reversal.

In case of a bullish breakout beyond $109K, Bitcoin price will rally towards the next target of around $144K, which coincides with the 1.618 monthly Fibonacci extension.

The crypto analyst noted that Bitcoin price must consistently close above the resistance level of around $97.5K to invalidate bearish sentiment in the near term. Furthermore, the crypto analyst highlighted that Bitcoin price does not have a robust support level above $92K, since a drop below could lead to a crash towards $70K in the subsequent weeks.

BNB Chain Tokens Lead in Anticipated Altseason

After Bitcoin price outperformed the majority of altcoins in the past two years, the momentum shift is gradually happening in favor of layer one (L1) coins and utility-based tokens. Moreover, on-chain data shows altcoins – led by Ethereum
